I wrote "rock(the only good thing the USA ever produced...)"
~ I do hope it was clear from the context that this was the general attitude
in left-wing circles in 70s Frankfurt, a very stupid, ignorant one & not
mine. I'm much more like George Simmers, who wrote "give me Billie
Holiday...", absolutely, oh Amurrican music! 'Tis of thee I sing! And you
Stateside painters & poets, give me an eye- & an earful! I know your cheese
isn't generally very good, and the coffee, though almost free, tastes of
brown dishwater, but your seafood! Your accents! Your have-a-fine-days! And
a lot of your movies ~ oh Sturges & Hawks, Buster & Stan, Blue Velvet
forever! Rapturously yours
